i m not going to stand here and be the judge of people trying to protect their homeland from an illegal invasion. back to the major news on capitol hill, the debt ceiling. you clearly have some major concerns with a provision added to this bill to green light the controversial mountain valley pipeline from west virginia to virginia, championed by a democratic senator from west virginia, joe manchin who is running for re-election. you plan to file an amendment to get rid of it. are you going to vote no on the entire bill if your amendment fails? that s moving a couple steps down. you correctly point out we re trying to do a debt ceiling deal. the white house in their negotiation added a completely unrelated provision. there is nothing about green lighting the mountain valley pipeline that has anything to do with the debt ceiling. i think it s very bad policy. i think every project should have to go through permitting processes. if it gets approved, you can build it.
there s bipartisan support for permitting reform. that s where something like this should go. what you should do is make the permitting reform process better and make mountain valley go through that, and they can do it. they re a big company with resources. they can do it. but to exempt it completely is just something this project runs through two states. my colleague and friend joe manchin thinks this is good for west virginia. i think forcing virginians who don t want to give up their land to have to give up their land under imminent domain for something that will give them no land whatsoever, congress shouldn t be forcing them to do that. president biden has been known to watch this show. is there anything you want to tell him, given he didn t call you to give him a heads-up. president biden should watch this show, jake, because it s a good show. thank you. look, i m just i am a loyal president biden guy. i endorsed him in the virginia primary, i campaigned hard for him.
cooperate with him. this is a big deal in virginia and we were sort of cut out of it. i would love to hear from the white house any reason. i did get a call from john podesta to say, look, i get why you re upset. but i didn t get a good reason for why they would do this without it. senator tim kaine from the great commonwealth of virginia, thank you for being here. you bet. was president biden ever involved in a criminal scheme with a foreign national? we re looking for evidence, or at least republicans are on capitol hill. we ll tell you what they found, if anything. the leader of the kmoit tea is pressuring the fbi director for evidence to help prove his case. s truly right for me. (woman #3) with v verizon s new myplan, i t exactly what i want. and only pay for what i need. (man #2) now i m in charge. .of my plan. (vo) introducing myplan from verizon, the first and only plan where you pick your perks. .and save on every one. so you get exactly what you want
long time, in which they now say is imminent. virginia democratic senator tim kaine joins us now. senator, i know you want to talk about the debt ceiling bill. i ll goat that in one second. you re on the foreign relations committee, so i want your take on the new pattern of attacks on russian soil. the white house has made it clear that it does not support any attacks by ukraine or anyone else on russia. is that realistic considering what russia has been doing to the people of ukraine, innocent civilians targeted for more than a year? jake, that is the u.s. position, and it ought to be the u.s. position. ukraine is defending itself. russia has conducted an illegal invasion. russia is engaged in massive human rights abuses. we just came from a senate foreign relations committee hearing about the human rights abuses being committed by russia. this raises concerns about escalation, but ukraine is trying to defend itself.
their probes into biden? that is what house overcorrect did committee are accusing james comer of doing comer, during this and thi white ring mediatorial - for individuals he has characterizes whistleblowers i relation to his probe into the bidens business dealings ranking member jamie raski called him out in a letter saying comer s own staff confirm that he is only spoken with two people, and no witnes information was provided comey responded, essentially admitting to hiding informatio saying quote, multiple individuals have approached th oversight committee as whistleblowers with a desire t share informatio confidentially it should be no surprise tha whistleblowers do not trus ranking member raskin. the gop promised to investigat president biden and his family it has been a key part o virginia since taking over a house majority but according to politico, the party base is chafing at the lack of big bombshells, an concrete steps against administration officials t back up all of the la
